Quick answer
If you want a slightly larger, character-driven plush with detailed claws and a muted putty color, choose the Putty Grey Sloth. If you prefer a more compact, classic animal shape in a soft slate hue that's easy for little arms to carry, go with the Putty Slate Elephant.
Size and carry comfort
The Putty Grey Sloth measures 13 inches, while the Putty Slate Elephant is 12 inches. That one-inch difference may not sound like much, but it changes how the toy fits in a child's arms. The elephant's slightly smaller size makes it a bit easier for toddlers to tote around, while the sloth offers a fuller hug for older kids or adults.
Design and visual appeal
Both toys use the signature Putty fabric: ultra-soft, muted colors, and one-of-a-kind textures that modern parents love. The sloth stands out with its captivating face and detailed claws, giving it a playful, character-driven look. The elephant offers a simpler, understated design that's a classic childhood favorite. Your choice depends on whether you want a toy with more personality or a timeless silhouette.
